Fun In The Car - Car Aerobics!

Turn on the foot stompin’ praise music and start tapping your toes, singing along ........

But why stop there? Get those arms up, pick up those legs, sway back and forth and wiggle in your seat!

Your kids will love it, but then, they might be way too cool.

As the designated vacation driver, I even indulge to a point. Now, stop right there, don’t go yelling at me, I don’t do anything unsafe.

I have cruise control so my legs are free. I’ll march in place, flex and point my feet, wiggle my hips side to side, kegels, a slow shimmy (I think that’s what it’s called) - as in left shoulder forward, right shoulder forward, repeat. Shoulder rolls and shrugs.

And, on top of all of that, I must remember to keep my back in line, my chin tucked in (not down), and I do neck exercises called a Dorsal Glide.

Watch your posture as many drivers tend to sag and round their shoulders which encourages neck and back problems.

I spent all last summer getting rid of pain, learning all about how to repair my neck and back with physical therapy, including dorsal glides and proper posture.

So I will indulge in a bit of car aerobics now and then whether or not my kids think it’s cool!
